Man's Best Friend & Some News

Soooo, first up today, I have a little bit of news . . .

I have decided to stop with the card making and papercrafting and concentrate on my sewing. I barely make cards now (my sewing machine is pretty much permanently set up on my desk and my sewing bits and pieces are now taking over my craft room) and I no longer get paid from work to make them for clients, so other than the odd one or two a month for family birthdays I barely make them at all. I have therefore decided to sell off all my stuff (and buy myself sewing stuff). I'm slowly putting bits on eBay, which can be found here, and will continue to do so throughout the week as I tidy up my craft room, but if there is anything not on there that you think you may like, please get in touch. Off the top of my head, just some of the things I will be selling off are:

Sizzix Big Shot

various metal dies

about 30 LOTV stamps

LOTV art pads

Stampin' Up Sets

Distress Inks

Memento Inks

Indigo Blu stamps

lots of other stamps

Flitter Glu

Embossing powders

Embossing heat gun

50ish Promarkers

Spectrum Noir pens

Paper flowers

various charms

LOTV papers

Dovecraft papers

and that's just the things that I can remember right at this very minute. As I say, get in touch. If I have mentioned it at any point on this blog, I probably still have it, so it will be getting sold.

Anyway, that is my news.

However, although I am no longer making any cards, I do still have 4 or 5 left to share with you, and this is the first of those.

This is a card I made with father's day in mind, but I left it sentiment free, just in case I changed my mind:

I made this card using an LOTV topper, to which I added some faux stitching.

I then layered this onto an LOTV paper and then some plain blue card. To finish, I added a blue button and some twine.

Oh so sad to hear you are stopping making cards. I hope you don't regret your decision. Did you know there are Facebook groups where you can sell unwanted stash - no ebay fees! The one I'm in is at https://www.facebook.com/groups/706140189408476/I've sold lots of stuff on there and bought even more. LOL. Your cards are lovely - do save enough stash to make a few more at least. Annie xxx

About Me

Hello, my name is Holly and I live in Yorkshire, UK, where it generally rains and does not much else, but that gives me plenty of time to sit indoors and craft. I have been making cards for about a year now and I soon moved onto sewing and trying other crafts too.

It started as something to keep me occupied while the hubby (or fiance as he was at the time) watched football (soccer to anyone in the US) and it became a bit of an obsession, so much so that my spare room is now my sewing studio and I no longer have to sit at the kitchen table.

My other hobbies include tap dancing, following MotoGP and reading. I am also studying with the Open University for my history degree and am in my final year.

I sometimes wonder how I find time to do all this, and see my friends, as by day I work for a solicitors' firm in Leeds.
